After a relatively quiet start to the year before the Lunar New Year holiday, K-drama schedules are set to fill up once more in February, with several romantic and women-fronted dramas getting ready to launch.

Meanwhile, global streaming platforms will add some supernatural action and legal drama to the mix.

1. Twenty-Five Twenty-One

Mr. Sunshine’s Kim Tae-ri and Nam Joo-hyuk of Start-Up join hands in the romantic comedy Twenty-Five Twenty-One. Kim plays Na Hee-do, a star high-school fencer whose team is suddenly disbanded during a financial crisis. Yet she pushes through her hardship and becomes a member of the national team.

Also affected by the crisis is Baek Yi-jin (Nam), whose father’s business goes bankrupt. Suddenly, the formerly wealthy Yi-jin is forced to adjust to a poorer lifestyle and begins to work part-time to finance his studies. Later, he becomes a sports reporter at a major network. (tvN, February 12)
